Possible Causes

Refrigerator not level, Loose condenser coils or tubing, Items vibrating against back panel, Loose internal fan shroud

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Step 1: Level the refrigerator

  • Use a bubble level on top of the unit.
  • Adjust front leveling legs so the refrigerator is slightly tilted back and stable.

Step 2: Check for contact points

  • Ensure the refrigerator is not touching the wall or cabinets.
  • Move any items stored on top that may vibrate.

Step 3: Inspect rear components

  • With power off, gently move condenser tubing and secure any loose lines with foam or zip ties (avoid kinking).
  • Check fan shrouds and panels for loose screws.

When to call a technician: If noise persists and appears internal to the sealed system, professional evaluation is needed.
